CCTV-F will reach several million homes in Europe

Paris, 6 November – Chinese broadcaster CCTV has chosen GlobeCast for its distribution to the European market of its French language channel CCTV-F.

CCTV-F features news, tourism and educational programmes as well as Chinese performance art. Catered to an international audience, the programmes carry French subtitles with some news programmes hosted by French-speaking journalists.

GlobeCast receives CCTV-F’s signal at its technical operation facility in Paris, where it is encoded and multiplexed for uplink. GlobeCast is also providing monitoring services to CCTV-F.

CCTV’s choice of GlobeCast is ideal, as the channel will share a neighbourhood with leading international broadcasters such as France 24, Russia Today, Al Jazeera English and NHK World TV.
